Tenino Community Service Center Fundraiser Dinner

 Dear Seniors & Friends,

George and I attended the Tenino Community Service Center Fundraiser Dinner last night.  The Tenino Eagles Club was filled with people supporting the TCSC.  Several people from the Senior Center of Rainier - Nancy Bay, Suki Hulen, George Ridout and Debbie Sorrells sat with us.  George R. and Nancy won a raffle prizes!  George J, Nancy B and I won silent auction prizes.

Jody and her volunteers did a wonderful job of cooking, serving and setting up the whole event.  It took a many volunteers to put on this successful event.  There are many volunteers in the pictures, however not all of the volunteers are pictured as they were working while the pictures were being taken.   

Many people from Rainier attended including Pastor Pat Cooley and his wife, Tina from Valley Heart Assembly of God Church, which runs the Rainier Food Pantry.

It took a lot of volunteers to put on this event.  A special "thank you" to all of the volunteers! They did a wonderful job. Jody and Crew worked very hard to put this event together.  Dinner was delicious.  The leftover food was donated to the Senior Center of Rainier, so we will be having Pork Loin, rather than fish sticks for lunch today!!!  

We are all grateful and appreciate the support we receive from the Tenino Community Service Center!  Thank you all for a wonderful evening!

Jody Stoltz presented the ne "Tenino Community Service Center Logo" last night. 

Below are some of the other pictures I took last night:

Steelhead Update 03/28/2024

 Dear Seniors & Friends,

We served a fresh steelhead lunch last week.  It was a hit!  We also gave away fresh steelhead  - you clean - a couple of weeks ago.  We thought there would be more in 

April, but Jody told us Wednesday that she won't be getting more steelhead until this coming fall.  We will let you know when they are available, so you can get on the fishy list.

Remember, we have a special lunch coming up on April 10th to thank the Nisqually Indian Tribe for their grants for 2022 & 2023. Their elders are coming to bless our meal, as well as the commercial freezer and commercial 3-door refrigerator we purchased with their grants. We're serving - Beef Tips and Gravy.

The Senior Center of Rainier is grateful to each and every one who

joins us for lunch. It's become a home-away-from-home for us all!

We are grateful and appreciate you all.

Linda

I understand George Johnson and his awesome crew blew it out of the park with today's Rainier Senior Center lunch. It takes many hands to bring these wholesome meals to our seniors two days a week. Thanks go to the Department of Fish and Wildlife for the great opportunity to allow us to bring fresh fish to our senior population. Photo by George Sharp.

the new Rainier Food Pantry at Valley Heart Assembly of God Church.  Thank you Jody, Kevin & Crew!

Fresh Catch of the Day!

Thank you to the Tenino Community Service Center and their staff!

Jody Stoltz, from the Tenino Community Service Center brought the Senior Center 18 fresh steelhead!  Coop and Dan cleaned and filleted them.  Victoria and I cut them up, vacuum sealed them and put them in the freezer for our "Chef's Choice" meal later this month.  What a wonderful Catch of the Day!

The Tenino Community Service Center has helped us tremendously over the last few months.  Not only do they donate fresh food to the Senior Center, they came to the Senior Center and helped us take our old refrigerators to the Rainier Food Pantry.  They have a hydraulic lift on the back of their truck, which simplified the job for us old folk.  We are grateful to Jody and her staff for their help and dedicated community service.
